[QUOTE="USMCFieldMP, post: 6528507, member: 72062"] A Cobalt SS with the GM Stg 2 CAN run High 13's @ 103-104mph... but it all depends on the driver and whether or not they know how to launch the car. Its definitely not made for the Drag Strip, but if he is good, I mean really good... he could get as low as a 13.7 or with just the Stg2. BUT, most Cobalt driver's don't know what they hell they are doing at the track... and he'll probably run a mid to high 14... if not a 15. The clutch isn't REALLY a problem... it'll hold 450hp... BUT it is very tempremental. It HAS to be driven a certain way. If you daily drive like a grandma and shift at like 2k... then you will have problems. For some reason, you HAVE to shift at 3k with this clutch, for it to truly be effective. I've always shifted mine at 3k and never had problems... in fact, my clutch grabs hard enough to make the CD player skip. Its all in the driver... our cars are VERY hard cars to drive. You can't rev it up on the line either... I leave the line at 2k MAX... otherwise, you risk burning it up, spinning the hell out of some tires (FWD Sucks), or wheel hopping to hell and back. In short... these cars suck at the drag strip. Well, they suck in general... but even more so at the Drag Strip. Our 1st gear is short as hell... its pretty much pointless. Any more Q's, just ask.
